Kansas City (AFP) - Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has declared himself ready to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday after a bruising opening weekend that left him on the injury list after being sacked four times.

The 39-year-old needed treatment to a sore back after the Broncos 19-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and is bracing for another rough ride against the Chiefs strong defense.
